<p>An apparatus for measuring the approximate peak flow rate of a liquid discharge having a hollow receptacle. The receptacle has an inlet port adjacent the upper end of the receptacle to receive the liquid discharge, and a compartment below the inlet port to receive the discharge passing through the inlet port. The receptacle also has a channel adjacent the compartment, and an upright wall in the receptacle separating the compartment from the channel. The wall has opening means communicating between the compartment and the channel to permit passage of liquid from the compartment to the channel as the liquid collects in the compartment. The receptacle includes means for indicating the maximum height of liquid collected in the compartment during the discharge to determine the approximate peak flow rate of the liquid discharge. The liquid passes from the channel to a container for collection therein, and the total volume of the discharge may also be determined from indicia on the container.</p> |
